As a queen who has lost her kingdom, I can see the comments section.

As it turned out, Amelia's judgment was correct.

She didn't stay in the hotel for long before the whole of Beard City descended into chaos.

Vincent made his move.

He directly controlled a large army and appeared east of Beard City, besieging the city with overwhelming force.

He will use force to seize the position of Grand Duke!

Upon hearing the news, Amelia immediately ordered, "Harold, have everyone go around to the rear of Vincent's army. Eileen and Nicole, you two follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three of them responded in unison.

Upon arriving at the inn, Amelia and Eileen boarded the carriage, while Nicole nervously took over the helm and headed towards the east of the city.

As they passed by, many police officers along the way rushed in that direction, and there were also fearless onlookers who went there to watch the spectacle.

When Amelia arrived at the east side of the city, a large crowd had already gathered there, and the police were disgruntled and trying to disperse the crowd.

After Amelia lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, she picked up a white half-face mask and put it on. Seeing this, Eileen and Nicole also put on the half-face masks they had prepared, which only covered the upper half of their faces.

After parking the carriage, the three of them got off together.

As soon as Amelia stepped off the carriage, she noticed a lot of footsteps coming from another direction. Looking up, she could see a large group of people rushing towards her.

Leading the group was Verna, whose red hair was tied in a high ponytail and whose eyes seemed to blaze with fire.

Beside Verna, Daphne followed, along with some nobles and even more soldiers who provided protection.

Amelia immediately went over.

As Amelia approached, the soldiers surrounding Verna spotted her immediately, drawing their weapons and cautiously watching the three of them.

"Wait, all of you step back."

Verna quickly stopped.

Even though Amelia was wearing a mask, Verna recognized who the person in front of her was just by looking at her outfit.

Amelia approached Verna and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Verna said solemnly, "The situation is not good. Vincent has far more power than I thought, and he has infiltrated too much of the army."

"Didn't you also infiltrate the military?"

"But I don't have much power in this area. Even with the power Bennett gave me, I don't have as many soldiers as Vincent has."

At this point, Verna looked somewhat helpless.

Because Vincent focused his efforts on military infiltration, he was weak in other areas, but strong in controlling the army.

Bennett was the kind of person who was good at everything and had control over all aspects. As a result, the military forces he controlled were not as numerous.

Of course, the army mentioned here is not the army of the entire Duchy of Luban, but the local garrison of Bilde.

Vincent alone commands 60% of the garrison's strength, with the remainder held by Werner and Bennett, putting them at a numerical disadvantage.

"If the two armies are forced to fight, our losses will be heavy, and we will most likely lose." Verna sensed that the situation was becoming serious.

“What about the higher-ranking apostles? If all the higher-ranking apostles in the army joined forces to kill Vincent, even if Vincent were also a higher-ranking apostle, he wouldn’t be able to resist, right?” Amelia suggested again.

“Actually, most of our country’s generals are guarding the borders. The events in Beard City happened too quickly. Even if those generals received the news and rushed back, it would be too late. Right now, the only high-ranking apostle on my side is Daphne, the head of the security office.” Verna glanced at Daphne not far away and said helplessly.

This is why Vincent insisted on taking action immediately; if those high-ranking apostle-level generals returned, his troubles would become much greater.

"I see." Amelia understood the situation and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, we've already signed a contract, haven't we? My people will help."

Verna perked up and asked in a low voice, "Amelia, where are all your people now?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the two men who were following Amelia.

She recognized Eileen. Although Eileen wasn't wearing a maid outfit at this time, but a white dress, she was still following Amelia with long silver-white hair, so it could only be Eileen.

However, he didn't recognize the other red-haired girl, Verna, and she was wearing a mask, making it even harder to determine her identity.

Amelia replied, "I've had my men flank around. If a major battle breaks out, my men will launch a surprise attack from behind."

"That puts my mind at ease." Verna finally relaxed and smiled, saying, "Amelia, I'm so glad I cooperated with you. Don't worry, you've helped me so much, I'll do my best to help you with your own affairs in the future."

“Under the contract, this is what I should do. Also…” Amelia paused, then said in a low voice, “Velna, you should also understand that my identity should not be revealed, otherwise it will easily cause trouble. So, you can just call me Lily, you don’t need to call me by my name.”

"Lily? I see, but is there any significance to this name?"

"I had my people establish an organization called the Silent Throne, and I am its leader. People in our organization are all referred to by the code names of plants."

"I see."

Verna understood the situation and asked, "Then what's Eileen's name?"

“Her name is Dandelion, and the other is Laurel,” Amelia replied.

Verna silently memorized these names.

At this moment, shouts of battle could be heard from outside the city, a mighty and overwhelming sound.

Verna's expression tightened, and she quickly walked towards the outside of the city.

Amelia stayed by Verna's side, and together they went outside the city.

Not far away is a castle nestled against the mountain, and on the other side of the castle lies a plain where a large army is currently present, a dark mass that exudes a heavy sense of oppression at a single glance.

Chapter 107 Showdown, How Wonderful It Would Be If Eileen Were Mine

Verna's army had also assembled outside the city, facing Vincent's army from afar, the atmosphere between them filled with a tense and deadly tension.

Verna came to the city wall and watched the situation of both sides from afar, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Not long ago, she was just a princess hiding behind the scenes, waiting for her chance to rise. Now, she has seized power and is engaged in the final competition with her last rival.

Verna clenched her fists, knowing that the most crucial turning point in her life had arrived. She couldn't afford to lose this competition; it was an indispensable step in realizing her ambitions.

She must be the victor!

In the distance, Vincent, clad in red armor, rode a tall horse and emerged from the ranks of the army, appearing before everyone.

"Virna?"

He looked at Verna from afar on the city wall, somewhat unsure of the situation.

Why did this guy become my opponent?

While assembling his army, Vincent heard that Bennett had left a will instructing Vilna to inherit everything and fight against him, and at that moment he sensed that something was wrong.

Even if Bennett were to leave a will, why choose Verna of all people?

Verna, could she really become his rival?

Vincent was very surprised, but he didn't dare to be careless. He had been too confident in himself before, which was why Bennett had kept him from leaving behind his life and giving his last words.

In his mind, Bennett should have been dead by now, and Beard City should have become even more chaotic.

Therefore, he wouldn't underestimate Verna. Since Bennett chose Verna instead of someone else, perhaps Verna really does have some tricks up her sleeve?

Regardless, Vincent took a megaphone from his subordinate.

These are alchemical products from the Waterland Empire. In that country, which is known as the Alchemy Empire, all sorts of strange and wonderful but very practical alchemical products always circulate.

The megaphone was made of metal. He picked it up, placed it in front of him, and shouted, "Virna, are you now choosing to stand against me? Do you want to be my enemy?"

His voice was amplified by the loudspeaker, rolling in and reaching the top of the city wall.

Verna remained expressionless, took a megaphone, and replied in a deep voice, "Vincent, you have slaughtered your compatriots and caused countless bloodshed. According to the laws of the Principality, you should be sentenced to death. Today, I, Verna Lupin, hereby formally declare that you have been stripped of all your original rights. A man like you should go to hell, and I will send you to hell as well."

Vincent couldn't help but laugh upon hearing Verna's words.

"Verna, some things can't be accomplished by dreaming. I suggest you surrender obediently, or don't blame me for being impolite."

“You’re the one who should surrender, Vincent.”

"It seems you're determined to oppose me."

"I told you, I'll send you to hell."

"Don't act like you're some kind of righteous hero, Verna. You just want to become a Grand Duke, don't you? Of course, whatever your purpose is, I'll send you on your way."

After Vincent finished speaking, he handed the megaphone to his deputy, his expression turning cold.

"kill!"

With a loud shout, Vincent rushed out.

When Vincent took action, the thousands of troops behind him also sprang into action.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves mingled together, spreading out like a tide, causing the earth to tremble. A strong killing intent mixed with sand and dust rushed towards them, almost suffocating them.

On the city wall, Verna took a deep breath and shouted, "Kill!"

The army belonging to Verna's side also fearlessly charged towards Vincent's side at this moment.

After giving the instructions, Verna quickly looked at Amelia beside her.

Amelia understood Verna's meaning and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I have already given instructions that our people will move out once your battle begins."

It seemed to be a response to Amelia's words.

From the jungle behind Vincent's army, a cacophony of shouts and screams echoed over, the commotion so loud that Vincent couldn't help but turn around and look.

He couldn't see how many people were behind him because the jungle blocked his view, but the shouts of battle covered a very wide area, as if there were thousands of troops there, which made his heart tighten.

'What's going on? There shouldn't be any more garrison troops around Beard City. Where did these people come from?'

Vincent sensed that something was wrong.

If the enemy is not only in front of us, but also behind us, how can our army confidently charge forward?

Before Vincent could think too much, a roar came from the jungle.

Along with the sound, a dazzling purple light shot out and landed directly in Vincent's army, blasting a huge crater in one area and causing the ground there to crumble. Limbs flew around in the dust and smoke, and screams filled the air.

Magic Crystal Cannon?

Upon seeing this commotion, Vincent's pupils contracted, and his hands instinctively clenched.

Why would there be a magic crystal cannon?
